In the Atlantic which part of the oceanic crust is younger​

Biology
2 answers:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Oceanic crust is  younger crust . Well, It is because, an oceanic crust is formed when a continental crust undergoes a big tension crack due to the forces generated inside the earth, which may be because of the magma dwelling inside.  As the crack becomes prominent, the continent is broken into the segments with a big oceanic basin kind of structure between them (This takes millions and millions of years). Sediments deposit in the basin and get stratified to form the oceanic crust.  This is the reason that oceanic crust is younger than the continental crust.

Answer:

The oldest crust is about 260 million years old. This sounds old but is actually very young compared to the oldest continental rocks.

What process is used to take atmospheric nitrogen and turn it into nitrates?​
andre [41]

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

Certain soil bacteria, e.g., <em>Azobacter spp</em> can combine free nitrogen of the atmosphere with oxygen to form nitrates. This is called <u>nitrogen fixation</u>. Other nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium form symbiotic unions with the roots of leguminous plants called root nodules. They fix nitrogen to form nitrates which are used up by the host plant. Nitrifying soil bacteria, e.g., <em>Nitrobacter </em>convert nitrites to nitrates in a process called <u>nitrification</u>.

b. In 1979, the estimated elephant population was 1.3 million and in 2007 it was 640,000. By approximately what percentage did t
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The initial amount, 1.3 million = 1,300,000 is the 100%.

now, 640,000 is a given percentage (lower than 100%) of that.

How we can find it?

suppose that 640,000 represents an x%.

Then we have that the quotient between the actual quantities and the percentages must be the same

(640,000/1,300,000) = x%/100%

x% = (640,000/1,300,000)*100% = 49.23%

Then the percentage declined is:

100% - 49.23% = 50.77%

The other question can not be answered with the given information.

During cellular respiration what is the direct source of the energu used in the cells of consumers?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Consumers use chemical energy from the chemical bonds within organic molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids,  and amino acids.

Explanation:

<u>Heterotrophs are consumers</u>; they ingest or absorb organic matter (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.)  made by autotrophs or producers for their energy consumption. Autotrophs include plants, bacteria, and other photosynthesizing organisms, while heterotrophs include animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria.

Heterotrophs obtain energy from food through the process of cellular respiration. For instance, during aerobic respiration in mitochondria, they break down sugars in the form of glucose into carbon dioxide and water to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:      C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

                                      glucose+ oxygen →  carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
